|    Dr. Geezer versus Dr. Young    |
|    20 Apr 16 16:22:39    |
      An old geezer became very bored in retirement and decided to open a medical       clinic.               He put a sign up outside that said: "Dr. Geezer's clinic. Get your treatment       for $500, if not cured, get back $1,000."               Doctor "Young," who was positive that this old geezer didn't know beans about       medicine, thought this would be a great opportunity to get $1,000. So he went       to Dr. Geezer's clinic.               Dr. Young: "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please help       me?"               Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr.       Young's mouth."               Dr. Young: Aaagh!! -- "This is Gasoline!"               Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."        Dr. Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to       recover his money.               Dr. Young: "I have lost my memory; I cannot remember anything."               Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the       patient's mouth."               Dr. Young: "Oh, no you don't, -- that is Gasoline!"               Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."               Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after       several more days.               Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak -- I can hardly see anything!               Dr. Geezer: (Giving him a $10 bill) "Well, I don't have any medicine for that       so, here's your $1000 back."               Dr. Young: "But this is only $10!               Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."                       Moral of story -- Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can       outsmart an "old Geezer."               Remember: Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first       place, so it doesn't take much to rile us.                       Regards,               Roger              --- DB 3.99 + Windows 10        * Origin: NCS BBS - Houma, LoUiSiAna (1:3828/7)    |
